Does Quick PDF Library support 64-bit machines?

Yes, as of version 8.12 Quick PDF Library provides 64-bit compatible versions of the ActiveX, DLL and Delphi editions. You can download version 8.12 or older and newer versions from our product updates page.

If you're using a version of Quick PDF Library before version 8.12, then a native 64-bit solution is not yet available but Quick PDF Library can be successfully run on on 64-bit machines using WoW64.

Here is the relevant information on this issue for each edition (remember this is versions prior to version 8.12, version 8.12 and later provide native 64-bit support):

• Delphi Edition -- Delphi generates 32-bit code and so Windows will know to automatically run it through WoW64 on 64-bit machines.
• ActiveX Edition -- if you're using Visual Studio (or similar) you will need to set the platform target to x86 instead of Any CPU.
• DLL Edition -- if you're using Visual Studio (or similar) you will need to set the platform target to x86 instead of Any CPU.
• TCP Edition -- this edition is designed to run as a service and will run successfully on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

The basic steps required for configuring a project in Visual Studio to work on 64-bit machines with either the ActiveX or DLL editions are shown below.

1. Right-click on your project and select 'Properties' from the menu
2. Click on the 'Build' tab
3. Under 'General' change the 'Platform target' to x86
4. Save
